The incorporation of a hydrogen atom at C-15 of cholesterol biosynthesized from squalene.

M Akhtar, A D Rahimtula, D C Wilton.   

Abstract

Cholesterol is biosynthesized from squalene in the presence of tritiated water. Chemical degradation reveals that a considerable percentage of the total radioactivity is present at C-15. This result confirms the previous observations on the involvement of a C-15 hydrogen atom in cholesterol biosynthesis.
